I think it would be better to avoid adding a bfd_target hook in this
case.  Instead, you should hook into the linker to set
command_line.soname.  See ppc64elf.em for examples of how to add
target dependent linker functions in a way that has zero impact on
other targets.  LDEMUL_AFTER_OPEN is probably the right place.
